About Os Mutantes

Facebook | YouTube | Spotify

Os Mutantes ("The Mutants") are an influential Brazilian psychedelic rock band that were linked with the Tropicália movement of the late 1960s. When Os Mutantes was formed, it combined influences from psychedelic acts from the English-speaking world like The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Sly & the Family Stone with bossa nova, tropicália, samba and the cultural legacy of the Brazilian art vanguards from the modernist movement.
One of the most well-known and influential rock bands in Brazil, Os Mutantes are cited as a major influence to many contemporary underground or independent bands in the United States and Europe. Beck paid tribute to the group with his single "Tropicália" from the album Mutations. The Bees (UK band) covered "A Minha Menina" on their first album, Sunshine Hit Me. Red Hot Chili Peppers bass player Flea has stated on his Twitter account that he is a fan. Kevin Barnes of Of Montreal cites Os Mutantes as an important influence. Talking Heads frontman David Byrne has worked to publish and promote the group's music through his Luaka Bop label. Kurt Cobain publicly requested a reunion tour from the trio in 1993, writing a letter to Arnaldo Baptista, but the bands first live performance since 1978 was at London’s Barbican Arts Centre on May 22, 2006 - (though without Rita Lee, who was replaced with Zélia Duncan on vocals). This performance was followed by shows in New York City, Los Angeles (with the Flaming Lips), San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, and Miami. However in September 2007, both Arnaldo Baptista and Zélia Duncan left the band, each expressing wishes to continue with their respective solo projects.

About Ghost Funk Orchestra

Website | Facebook | Instagram | Spotify

Ghost Funk Orchestra began as bandleader Seth Applebaum’s lo-fi recording project in 2014. They have been playing as part of New York City’s psych-rock and soul scenes, but have only just recently released their debut album, A Song for Paul. Five years might seem like a long time from a band’s conception to the release of their debut album, but A Song for Paul is clearly worth the wait.

About Grass Cannon

Website | Facebook | Instagram | Spotify | Apple Music

Grass Cannon hails from the mean streets of South Philly and burnt pikes of C-Wood to bring the sounds of what “once was” to the time of “how the fuck is it tuesday already.” They play
music that the mind may seem necessary to categorize as 60’s psyche rock- though a genre
need not weigh upon them- and do so with what some might call “PRO-ficiency.”

Formed of weathered musicians that have played the scenes for years, Grass Cannon dares toask the question “What if we made some crazy right here on this record, though?”
From seismic jams to cumeric grooves, Grass Cannon says “no” to “no” and “yes” to
“sometimes, you beautiful SOB.”

They gradually built their own South Philly Studio from the ground up, and thus have seized themeans of production for their own primsly palms, and now perform, produce, and cannibalizetheir own electric walls of sounds to appease their precariously mortal souls.
Fuzz... Rhythm.. Sound... there is no escape from the noun that is the greatest band to ever
prep the fuse...

If ever there was a time to light the Grass Cannon... it is probably now, or whenever time flowsback this way again, and then perhaps back again when time is perceived linearly no longer...
